VITA - Dr. David Ludwig
Dr. David Ludwig combined a background in both theology and psychology
by getting an MDiv from Concordia Seminary in 1965 and a PhD from
Washington University in 1966. His creative blending of these two
disciplines has spanned over 40 years as a university professor,
a licensed psychologist and Lutheran (LCMS) minister. During this
time Dr. Ludwig has written seven books and numerous professional
articles while speaking internationally on the spiritual growth
of relationships within oneself, family, and church.
Central to Dr. Ludwig's thinking is a deep understanding of the
organizing spiritual force to life. Relationships organized around
shared responsibilities and joy (around a "WE") built on the promise
of God's design for humans offer a loving alternative to an increasing "ME-oriented" culture.
Dr. Ludwig's popular books and videos offer practical application
to developing healthier personal and family relationships, including
the insightful concepts of: "Painters and Pointers," "Freeze-dried
Mood Particles," and "Parenting as a WE."
Dr. Ludwig and his wife, Kathy, have traveled extensively, giving
presentations on family relationships with grants from Wheatridge,
Thrivant, and various Synodical organizations. This message of
the healing power of WE has been shared with congregations and
audiences in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, New
Zealand, Indonesia, and England. Dr. Ludwig has developed the Power
of WE Center at Lenoir-Rhyne College, Hickory, NC. His latest
book and video, " The Power of WE ," can be ordered at its
web site: www.thinkwe.com .
Dave and Kathy have been married for 45 years and have 3 married
sons and 7 grandchildren.
